Louisiana blackened thrash perpetrators GOATWHORE are currently readying for their next round of headlining live assaults. Slated to commence in Houston on September 15th, the band will quash nearly two dozen US cities including recently added dates in Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, New York, Virginia, Georgia and Florida as well as five shows supporting death rock/horror punk icons, Samhain! From there, GOATWHORE will bring their canticles of chaos overseas for a European invasion with DYING FETUS and FALLUJAH. The lengthy expedition embarks on November 8th in Liege, Belgium and comes to a ceremonial close on December 19th in Hamburg, Germany.

Due to the upcoming birth of his first son, GOATWHORE bassist James Harvey will be sitting out both tours. In the interim, the band has enlisted bassist TA from San Antonio blackened death horde, HOD.

Comments Harvey of his absence, “Unfortunately, I will be staying home for the upcoming tour dates with Samhain as well as the European tour with Dying Fetus and Fallujah. This is due to the upcoming birth of my first son by my longtime girlfriend, Lorrena. He is due between the middle and the end of September and I will be staying home to fulfill my paternal duties. Obviously we have known about this for months and have planned accordingly – our friend TA from the Texas band, HOD, will be filling in on bass duties for the upcoming US tour. I am bummed that I will not be able to go back out on the road for the rest of the year, but I’m sure everyone understands the gravity of welcoming a new life into the world. I wish the best of luck to the guys on the upcoming runs and hope to see everyone soon.“

GOATWHORE is currently touring in support of their devouring Constricting Rage Of The Merciless full-length. Unleashed in July via Metal Blade Records, Constricting Rage Of The Merciless debuted at #81 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart, toppling their last entry position of #171 with Blood For The Master. The infernal masterwork also ranked in at #21 on Billboard’s Rock chart, #7 on the Hard Rock chart, #13 on the Independent chart and, boasting ten mutinous tracks of thick, predatory, subterranean metal, continues to raise the eyebrows of fans and critics globally.

“…a blasphemous blast…” – Decibel Magazine

“…the new high water mark of the group’s work thus far…” – Metal Injection

“GOATWHORE channels every evil impulse of its blackened death thrash into Constricting Rage of the Merciless…” – Austin Chronicle

“…a fucking solid release and one wild ride down the highway to Hell…” – Invisible Oranges

“…a brutally bleak aural onslaught that will no doubt get metal heads pumping their fists and headbanging along with these pummeling anthems of chaos and despair.” – Pop Matters

According to Metal Blade, New Orleans extreme Metal force GOATWHORE – who just released their critically acclaimed new album “Constricting Rage Of The Merciless” – have confirmed a full European tour as main support for DYING FETUS!

Check out GOATWHORE‘s “FBS” lyric video HERE, where you’ll also be able to order the album. Feel the wrath of “Schadenfreude,” now playing at Loudwire at THIS LOCATION.

On “Constricting Rage Of The Merciless“, GOATWHORE spews their unadulterated, subterranean metal as channeled through the historic likes of Motörhead and Bathory, with the insatiable hunger of a pack of wild boars. Captured at Mana Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida with sound savior, Erik Rutan at the control desk, the record serves as their first studio output to be tracked to two-inch tape. A more challenging approach that demands performance over pro-tooled perfection and leaving little room for error, the ten-track, thirty-seven-minute recording is GOATWHORE‘s most accomplished, sonically consuming manifestation to date, its warm, organic production harnessing the dense, apocalyptic war-ready tone and energy of their live performance in a way previous releases have not.

According to Century Media, Glasgow’s BLEED FROM WITHIN are just picking up more speed. After touring with Testament around the release of their recent album “Uprising”, doing their own UK headlining run with fellow label mates HEART OF A COWRAD, supporting Megadeth in the UK, playing a ton of summer festivals, headlining in Scandinavia and being awarded a “Best New Band” at the Golden Gods by Metal Hammer UK BLEED FROM WITHIN have just been confirmed for the amazing billing of HEAVEN SHALL BURN‘s “VETO MMXIII Tour”. Don’t miss the chance to see BLEED FROM WITHIN live with their label mates HEAVEN SHALL BURN as well as Hypocrisy and Dying Fetus.

Martyn Evans (guitar): “We are extremely excited to get back over to the mainland with the mighty HEAVEN SHALL BURN. We hit a lot of new places and a load of old favorites. We look forward to seeing everyone out there at the shows and can’t wait to be part of this great package.”

Right before BLEED FROM WITHIN are part of the UK leg of the much anticipated Metal Hammer Defenders Of The Faith tour featuring Amon Armarth, Carcass and Hell.

CARCASS, ENSIFERUM, SYLOSIS are the latest acts confirmed for the 18th edition of the Brutal Assault Festival 2013 which is set to take place August 7th-10th in Josefov, Czech Republic.

Carcass are putting the finishing touches on their first studio album in 17 years with acclaimed producer Colin Richardson. Guitarist Bill Steer said: “People can expect to hear a fairly different Carcass set, the old favourites will in there, of course, but we’re also planning to play a couple of the less obvious tracks from our past, as well as songs from the album we’ve just completed.“
